trying to bring in as many cross sections to work on various things and certainly the committee is a big piece of that. as far as the drought program, it did go away yesterday at the board and we were anticipating about 100 retirements this year including the drop. this is not completely out of the average. the average is normally 60 to 90. without any officers coming in, it is getting to the point where we have to get serious about having some classes and we anticipate that there will be about 300 people set for retirement over the next three years. the good news is that it will not all go at once. there is an incentive to stay. you can assume that that is 300 patrol officers. as the upper ranks retires, the trickle down goes to the motion. at the end of this, the 300 folks would have retired and there is a chance that in the third year, that would be the largest year and that is what our hope is. so, we have a plan where we would need a minimum of three classes a year which would be consistent with when myself and capt. goldberg and today is my 30th anniversary in the police department
